Boomer Banks, a queer Mexican DJ based in New York City and a cast member of X-Rated: NYC, shares an intimate account of choosing a cosmetic option called ScroFill. This piece is presented as a personal narrative and is not intended to be medical advice. The procedure he describes involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based filler into the scrotal skin to increase apparent volume, and it should be considered only after consulting a qualified clinician. Banks’s story connects changes caused by medical treatment to a cosmetic response meant to restore proportion and personal comfort.
He frames his choice against a background of health transitions: after sobriety and later medical evaluation, he discovered reduced natural testosterone production and began testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). One recognized side effect of some hormone treatments can be diminished testicular size, which for him translated into a smaller bulge than he had long been used to. That change became part of why he explored a cosmetic solution that felt both subtle and affirming.
Why he considered a cosmetic option
Banks says the idea of scrotal augmentation first came up during conversations with a practitioner he trusted, known professionally as Injector Chris. Having tried other treatments like Botox and GirthFill under the same provider, he felt comfortable exploring this newer technique. He was motivated by a desire for a more proportional appearance rather than an exaggerated outcome; his goal was to restore a sense of normalcy and ease in intimate situations. For him, the choice was about personal comfort and aesthetics as much as anything else, framed as elective cosmetic care rather than a medical necessity.
What happens during a ScroFill procedure
The injection process
The procedure targets the tissue of the scrotal sack, not the testicles themselves—filler is placed in the layer between the skin and underlying structures. Banks describes the experience as methodical: topical numbing and a filler formulation that includes lidocaine to reduce discomfort. Injector Chris used many very small insulin-style syringes across the surface area; while the number of injections can seem high, each is tiny and the provider aims for gradual, natural contours rather than a dramatic change. The immediate sensation is a series of pinpricks with increasing numbness as the lidocaine takes effect.
Aftercare and follow-up
Directly after the session, noticeable little lumps from the filler can appear under the skin and patients are instructed to perform gentle massage to evenly disperse the material. Banks was told to apply a lubricant such as Aquaphor and knead the area nightly for a couple of weeks; this helps avoid irregularities as the filler integrates. As with any filler, clinicians screen for allergies and advise a short-term checkup—Banks returned about two weeks later for an assessment to make sure everything settled symmetrically. The overall recovery described was brief and manageable when following provider directions.
Effects and personal outcomes
Banks reports meaningful, long-lasting results: he still notices a heavier feeling and more visible volume whether clothed or unclothed, and says partners have commented on the change during intimacy. In the first year he experienced increased sensitivity in the area, an unexpected shift from his previous baseline; for him, light stubble could sometimes feel intense. These sensory changes moderated over time, but the net effect was a blend of improved aesthetics and altered sensation. Crucially, he frames the outcome as gender-affirming care that boosted his confidence even when no one else remarked on it explicitly.
Considerations and final thoughts
Banks emphasizes that ScroFill is purely elective and not something everyone needs, but that it offers an option for people experiencing testicular atrophy related to TRT or other causes. He advises anyone considering the procedure to consult an experienced medical professional, understand risks and allergies, and set expectations for a natural result rather than an exaggerated change. For him, the experience was worth it: it addressed a specific body-image concern and felt like a meaningful form of self-care. He says he would choose to do it again and encourages others to consider how aesthetic choices can interact with both physical sensations and emotional well-being.
